Jack Straw: Not entitled to anything but a small cell

Craig Murray's latest campaign round up appears in the Guardian today, of course, Craig Murray, our ex ambassador to Uzbekistan is standing against British foreign secreatry in Blackburn, and is hoping to cause a big upset in the early hours of the 6th May:

One further infringement of our liberties under New Labour, and a serious threat to free speech. Every candidate has the right to have an electoral communication delivered free of charge. These have to be pre-vetted by the Post Office for, inter alia, libel. Since when has the Post Office, as opposed to a court of law, been qualified to decide what a candidate may or may not say? I feel rather insulted it found nothing wrong with my electoral communication. I am obviously not being radical enough.
